Audiophile VS Musiphile - Your Thoughts?

[rodrigaj]

I can't, repeat can't, listen to "my system" and "the music" at the same time.

 

It's like their is a switch in my brain. The emotional response to the music supersedes all else. This happens whether I am listening through earbuds or listening on my $$$ system.

 

It's easier to connect to the emotional response of "the music" when I am on my $$$ system. So for me, spending $$$ on playback equipment provides a wider conduit to this emotional response.

... I would jettison all my gear and give up music completely if all I was allowed to listen to was Diana Krall, Shelby Lynne, and classic jazz....

This should be given its own genre: "Audio Show" music.

"TOO DAMN LOUD"

 

My wife, her large family and her nieces and nephews weddings:

 

The wedding receptions after the ceremonies have gotten so intolerably loud thanks to these DJ driven events. It's what the kids think of as fun.

 

I leave.

 

The last one, we spent $2000 to travel to Boston. Never again. People were complaining the next day of ringing in their ears.
